Grandmaster Kim Soo's 1st visit to Korea, in June 1972, since he left in Jan. 1968. He received a warm welcome by family and friends at the Kimpo airport. John Coon, one of his students, accompanied him. He left Korea without money and a permanent visa and returned 4 years later with a student and nice suit, so there were rumors that he was supported by the Korean CIA and American Mafia. Of course, that was false. ____________________________________________
